A superb excursion! It was a great time from start to finish. Betty, our guide, was wonderful: passionate, attentive and always smiling. The driver was also top-notch, very helpful and caring throughout the day. We felt really well looked after, in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. I'd recommend this excursion 1000 times over - you can go with your eyes closed! Thanks again to the whole team 😊

We really enjoyed this. Was the perfect way to see Tokyo inner city, and affordable too. We did all three routes in full and Blue would have been the highlight one for us. We purchased tickets online and it was easy and smooth. Definitely a must do!

Was a great day. Weather was kind to us so we got a great view of Mt Fuji. Kazu was a great guide. He was very organised, attentive to everyone’s needs and kept everyone on time, in the right locations and up to date with the itinerary and instructions. The trip included all stops exactly as described and just enough time to see without lingering. If you only have a day, this tour fits a lot in given the distances you need to cover. Don't forget to take something warm. Was only 10 degrees at Mt Fuji and also cold and windy at the Ropeway and boat rides.

Really goood views of the whole city and a glimpse of Mount Fuji on a clear day as well. At 52 levels up you get to see a bit more detail than the higher up Skytree. Not as busy a location either.
